Introductory Example: Linear Programming Models: Interior Point algorithm Consider the Linear Programming problem in the "An Introductory Example" section in the chapter on the LP procedure.

This paper describes some rules for combining component models into complete linear programs. The objective is to lay the foundations for systems that give users flexibility in designing new models ...

Five integer linear programming models are posed, each based on a different optimality criterion dealing with manpower smoothing. By means of two hypothetical examples the models are tested for their ...
